Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the QuietFlo® Plus Air Purifier from Hunter Fan Company. You
have purchased our latest development in portable air purification which has been designed
to improve the quality of the air that you breathe. The following innovative features are
included in your Hunter Air Purifier.
• High Particulate Efficiency: The QuietFlo® filter will remove 99.97% of 0.3 micron
particles from the air that passes through the filter.
• Odor Removal: The activated carbon filter helps remove odors such as cooking, smoke,
and pet smells from the air.
• Quiet: The Air Purifier has been designed to operate quietly and efficiently. You can
choose among three speeds to best meet your needs at different times.
• Filter Counters: Filter maintenance is critical to the performance of the Air Purifier. To
help you determine when to change the carbon filter, the pre-filters and QuietFlo® filter,
the unit has built in life counters that keep track of the life remaining of each filter.

Description of Air Filtration System
How the QuietFlo® Plus Air Purifier System Works
As the air is pulled into the Air Purifier, the Pre-Filters capture large particles. Then,
the air travels through the QuietFlo® Main Filter where the smaller particles are collected. Odors are removed as the air passes through the Carbon Odor Filter. Finally,
the clean, purified air is released back into the room.

Operation
Filter Life Counters
The Pre-Filters, Carbon Odor Filter, and QuietFlo® Main Filter are critical to the proper
operation of the Air Purifier. To help you know when to clean and change the filters,
your Hunter Air Purifier has Filter Life Counters that will monitor the life of your filter.
Although the exact life of the filters depends on the environment, the table below
gives typical usage times of the filters.
Table 1: Typical Usage Times of the Filters
Filter Type
QuietFlo® Main Filter
Pre-Filter / Carbon Odor Filter
Typical Usage
8000 hours
2000 Hours
When the Pre-Filters & Carbon Odor Filter Life Counter reaches 0%, clean the PreFilters and change the Carbon Odor Filter. Replace the QuietFlo® Main Filter when
the QuietFlo® Main Filter Life Counter reaches 0%.
The values of the Filter Life Counters are stored in the Air Purifier’s memory. The
unit may be unplugged and moved or stored without losing the Pre-Filter and Filter
Counter values.
To properly track filter life, reset the Filter Life Counters each time the filters are
changed or cleaned. Refer to Pre-Filters & Carbon Odor Filter (pg. 10) or Changing the QuietFlo® Main Filter (pg. 11) sections for instructions on how to reset the
counters.
Resetting the Air Purifier
In the unusual situation that the unit or the display is exhibiting erratic behavior, you
may want to reset the Air Purifier. If you still have problems after resetting the Air
Purifier, please contact Hunter for additional assistance (refer to Technical Support,
pg. 14).
To Reset the Air Purifier:
1. Unplug the unit for at least 30 seconds.
2. Plug the unit back in.

Cleaning Your Air Purifier
Proper maintenance of your Hunter Air Purifier will help ensure years of trouble free
service.
Follow these steps to properly maintain your Air Purifier:
1. Approximately every 90 days, the outside of the unit should be cleaned with a
soft, damp cloth.
2. If needed, the Front Grill can be removed from the unit and cleaned with soapy
water. NOTE: Remove the Carbon Odor Filter before exposing the Front Grill to
water.
3. Follow the instructions in Cleaning the Pre-Filters and Changing the Carbon Odor
Filter (pg. 10) and Changing the QuietFlo® Main Filter (pg. 11) to determine when
and how to replace the filters.
NOTES:
• The Air Purifier must be unplugged during the cleaning process.
• Be sure the unit is completely dry before plugging in and using.
• Never immerse unit in water.
Cleaning the Pre-Filters and Changing the Carbon Odor Filter
When the Pre-Filter exceeds 2000 hours (refer to Filter Life Counters for additional
information, pg. 9), the Pre-Filter indicator will turn on as a reminder that you should
clean the Pre-Filter and change the Carbon Odor Filter. To maintain proper odorremoving capability and overall filtration performance, the Pre-filters should be cleaned
and the Carbon Odor filters replaced every 2000 hours (approximately 3 months of
use). If necessary, clean the pre-filter and change the odor filter more often. Proper
maintenance of the pre-filter will help extend the life of the QuietFlo® filter. Refer to
Obtaining Replacement Filters (pg. 13) if you need help finding replacement filters.
To clean the Pre-Filters, Change the Carbon Odor Filter, and reset the Pre-Filters &
Carbon Odor Filter Life Counter:
1.First, turn off and unplug the Air Purifier.
2.Next, remove the front grill. Refer to Figs. 4 and 5 (pg. 6).
3.Remove the Pre-Filters. Refer to Fig.2, pg. 4. Use a vacuum cleaner to
remove dust from them. Then, reinsert the Pre-Filters into the Air Purifier.
4.The Carbon Odor Filter is held to the back of the Front Grill with four
hook-and-pile fasteners. Peel off the old Carbon Odor Filter.
5.If needed, use a soft damp cloth to wipe off the Front Grill. Gently press
a new filter into place.

and hold the Pre-Filters & Carbon Odor Filter Reset Key for three seconds. When the display shows 100%,, release the Key. The Counter is

Changing the QuietFlo® Main Filter
When the QuietFlo® Main Filter Life Counter reaches 0% (approximately 10 to 12
months of use), you should replace the filter. Refer to Filter Life Counters for additional information, pg. 9. The proper time to change the filter depends on usage
and the environment. Generally, if you notice a decrease in air output or an increase
in noise at any time during normal operation, the filter may be clogged. Replace the
filter to return to normal operation.
To change the filter and reset the Filter Life Counter:
1.First, turn off and unplug the Air Purifier.
2.Next, remove the Front Grill. Place your fingers under the Grill Release
Handle and pull up. Refer to Figs. 4 and 5 (pg. 6).

While removing the filter, note the filter’s orientation - the new filter will
be installed with the same orientation. Refer to Fig. 10. Once removed,
the used filter can be discarded.

to Fig. 10.
